Sura is a dexterous and aggressive ninja who compensates for his lack of defence with sheer attack power and cunning combat techniques. He uses his Sura Katanas and Kunai weapons, deadly throwing blades, to take enemies by surprise. He has 5 skills to choose from including his inherent skill "Sixth Blade: Free-Form." 

Players who enjoy melee combat will be thrilled by this Hero’s fast-paced combat style and ability to avoid damage by side-stepping enemy attacks. Furthermore, Sura also recovers HP whenever his skills successfully land on an opponent. His stylish and risky combat strategy will make Sura a unique addition to the Shadow Arena roster. 

In the meantime, a Weekly Tryout format has been added to the Regional Cup which will be held for 3 weeks starting September 7. Anyone can participate despite their level and there will be rewards for reaching at least 5th place each week during the tryout period.

The Spin 7 is a 14-inch convertible notebook designed for style-conscious professionals, featuring a polished-looking steam blue chassis offset by gold accents. A magnesium-aluminum alloy body allows the body to measure in at just 1.4 kg and 15.9 mm thin, making it portable enough to practically disappear into a backpack or briefcase. This attention to detail extends to the notebook’s 14-inch Full HD IPS display, which covers 100% of the sRGB gamut, allowing for vivid and sharp colors. 

Antimicrobial Solutions[4] for a Safer Computing Experience

The touch screen is covered by a layer of Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass. A BPR & EPA-compliant silver-ion antimicrobial agent in the coating on the keyboard, touchpad and surrounding surface is proven to show a consistently high microbial reduction rate against a broad range of bacteria under the JIS Z 2801 & ISO 22196 test protocol.

Adecco Group Announces Jordan Topoleski, 20, from the United States as 2020 “CEO for One Month”

Leave a comment

Preparing the Next Generation to Lead in Uncertain Times

Program Builds Next Gen Leaders with Focus on a "New Leadership Profile"

ZURICH, Sept. 4, 2020 —

  • Jordan Topoleski, 20, from the United States has been named as the Global CEO for One Month to work alongside Alain Dehaze, CEO, the Adecco Group
  • Adecco Group CEO for One Month program builds next generation leaders, with a focus on the new profile of leadership required in a post-pandemic world of work
  • The pandemic has demanded a new set of required leadership competencies and these expectations will accelerate the reinvention of the modern-day leader.

Jordan Topoleski, 20, from the United States was today named the Adecco Group’s 2020 Global CEO for One Month. For the first time, the program was performed fully online. The CEO for One Month program is designed to build the next generation of leaders, informed by Adecco Group research that shows the emergence of a new profile of skills and qualities needed for future leaders to succeed in an increasingly uncertain world.

 

 

Following an eight-month selection process involving more than 200,000 applications from 34 countries, Jordan was chosen to spend one month serving alongside the Adecco Group CEO, Alain Dehaze. He will contribute to the day-to-day running of the world’s leading HR solutions company and help shape the future world of work.

Beginning in February, this year’s CEO for One Month selection process adapted quickly to COVID-19 requirements and used the situation to help young people to think about what it means to lead in challenging times. The process began when 34 talented young leaders of tomorrow were chosen to shadow the Adecco Group’s respective country CEOs. Ten finalists were then chosen to take part in the ‘virtual global bootcamp’ this week, which took them through a series of assessments and exercises to test their abilities and develop their leadership potential. At the close of the bootcamp, Jordan was selected as the Global CEO for One Month.

This year’s program comes at a time when sweeping workplace changes are coming in a post-pandemic world of work – especially around the expectations of leaders and what it takes to succeed.

The command and control approach of the past is quickly shifting toward more distributed leadership models. Being a ‘high EQ leader’ is crucial, with empathy, trust and a focus on wellbeing and culture-building critical. Research from the Adecco Group shows that the pandemic has demanded a new set of leadership competencies and that these expectations will accelerate a reinvention of the modern-day leader:

  • 74% of employees want their managers to demonstrate a leadership style focussed on empathy and a supportive attitude
  • 70% of employees say that support for their mental wellbeing will be important to them after the pandemic.

A further study commissioned by the Adecco Group which assessed ‘Gen Z’ leaders of tomorrow, found that many young people already possess many of the attributes needed to succeed. The report found that in many areas, including deductive reasoning and how world views are processed and applied to a strategic problem, the ‘Gen Z’ group showed stronger leadership traits than many current business leaders.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Adecco Group CEO, Alain Dehaze, said:

"It gives me great pleasure to welcome Jordan to the Adecco Group and I am looking forward to working alongside him and learning from his insights on the future of work and leadership. This year’s CEO for One Month announcement comes at a pivotal time, with the world of work likely to never return to the "normal" we knew before the pandemic. In particular, the sudden and dramatic change in the workplace landscape has accelerated the demand for a new leadership profile. Modern day leaders will need to reinvent themselves with a focus on emotional intelligence, and soft skills development will be critical. Now in its tenth year, the CEO for One Month program is an excellent opportunity to identify, develop, and learn from, the leaders of tomorrow, as they prepare to lead in an uncertain future."

The Global CEO for One Month 2020, Jordan Topoleski said:

"I am beyond happy to be the next CEO for One Month, especially in a company that is at the forefront of the current shifts taking place across the world of work. It is a historic and deeply challenging time to be a leader and I really look forward to further honing my own skills and helping shape the future of work."

About CEO for One Month
The ‘CEO for One Month’ program began as a local initiative in Norway in 2011 and went global in 2014, since growing to become a flagship initiative for the Adecco Group. It supports high potential young people increase their employability and career prospects through highly effective work-based learning. It operates under the Adecco Group Foundation which aims to improve work readiness of young people and other underserved populations. Applications for the 2020 programme exceeded 200,000.

Leave a comment

Five different optical module form factors successfully integrated into a single 4U platform with 800G (16 x 50Gbps) COBO ports at its core

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 3, 2020 — Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, today announced it has worked with Microsoft and the Consortium for On Board Optics (COBO) on the successful development of a leading-edge proof of concept (POC) open networking switch featuring 12.8Tbps bandwidth capacity as well as the seamless integration of five different optical module form factors in a single 4U rack, including eight ports with the highly promising COBO standard — offering up to 800G transmission speed and up to 30 percent energy savings. This innovative POC open networking switch underscores Delta’s capabilities regarding the research and development of next-generation data center infrastructure with leading transmission speeds and energy efficiency for the nascent 5G era.

Mr. Brad Booth, Microsoft’s Principal Network Architect and COBO’s President, said, "We are pleased to see Delta’s expertise in high-efficiency power electronics and in networking systems. Being capable of integrating COBO and other form factors into a single platform has been an integral contribution to this POC project to enable end users to perform hands-on evaluation and testing. Cloud data centers will require the support of networking systems featuring increased transmission speeds and low carbon footprint, and COBO represents a prime opportunity to deliver on these essential requirements."

Mr. Victor Cheng, Delta’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of its Information & Communications Technology Business Group, said, "With the development of this highly innovative POC COBO open networking switch, we have completed the first phase of a new chapter in the successful collaboration story with our long-time partner Microsoft. The promising energy savings offered by the COBO optical form factor standard align perfectly with Delta’s long-term commitment to energy conservation and lower CO2 emissions, and therefore, we look forward to cooperating with Microsoft and COBO to accelerate the growth of the 5G megatrend with this inventive technology."

Delta is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and Azure Cloud Solution Provider. This collaboration is a great achievement after Delta and Microsoft launched a 5G smart manufacturing solution in June. Delta continually cooperates with Microsoft for the interaction of technology.

Delta leveraged its expertise in telecommunications systems to develop the 12.8Tbps COBO POC open networking switch with five different optical module form factors into a compact 4U rack.  These include sixteen ports with the new COBO standard, which boasts up to 800 Gbps transmission speed (16 x 50Gbps) and energy savings as high as 30% when compared to similar peer technologies. The system also includes two 400G QSFP-DD, two 400G OSFP and sixty four 100G QSFP ports. Intel’s 8-core 2.0 GHz D-1548 Broadwell high-performance chip sits at the core of the Delta COBO switch.

Leave a comment

BERLIN, Sept. 3, 2020 — TCL, one of the world’s best-selling consumer electronics brands and leading technology companies, is introducing the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A today. This 4G connected watch provides hands-free two way calling, automatic fall detection, heart rate monitoring and medication reminders designed to help seniors maintain their independence.

According to Pew Research, nearly 20 percent of seniors around the world live alone. While older adults may want to age in their homes and retain their independence, their loved ones may have concerns about their safety or their ability to get around and complete daily activities. The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A is the perfect solution.

This watch provides automatic fall detection, which notes when the wearer falls and sends an immediate alert (within 60 seconds) to assigned emergency contacts with the individual’s precise location. The wearer can also dismiss the alert if necessary. With an embedded heart rate monitor and sensor, the watch will also keep an eye on heart rate and will alert the wearer to irregular activity, such as an accelerated or slower than average heart rate.

"With the announcement of the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A, TCL is utilizing modern wearable technologies that can help seniors continue living independent lives while providing peace of mind for their families and caregivers," said Sharon Xiao, GM of the Smart Connected Device Business Group at TCL Communication. "TCL is committed to leveraging its technical expertise for this generation, bringing unique offerings and features that are designed especially for them." 

In addition to medical emergencies, the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A is also designed to improve daily life for older adults. Seniors stay connected by sending voice or text messages and can also share photos or emojis right from their wrist. The watch also offers smooth two-way calling so seniors can check in with loved ones using a simple hands-free request. The MOVETIME Family Watch also has daily activity tracking and sleep monitoring to help the seniors track their activity and calories, while also measuring their sleep duration, cycle and efficiency. These tools provide them with insights that can help improve their lifestyle habits. Seniors can also leverage the watch’s medication or activity reminders, keeping them active while also making sure that they always take their pills on time.

The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A comes in Dark Gray and Black with a 41 x 48.5mm AMOLED touch display and optimized larger icons, watch face and graphics designed for seniors. The device is IP67 water and dust resistant and it is designed to meet CCPA and GDPR compliance to protect user privacy. The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A will be available in North America and Europe this fall for €229 EUR.

TCL will share additional details during its virtual press conference at IFA 2020 later today. To learn more about TCL wearables, including the TCL MOVETIME Family Watch, please visit http://www.tclcom.com/wearables/index.html.

Doit5 Launches Advertising Content Service using Web AR Technology

Leave a comment

– Brand utilizing Gamification as Marketing Tool

– AR Technology Applied on HTML5 based Game Advertisements, Creating New Business Model

SEOUNGNAM, South Korea, Sept. 3, 2020 — Doit5 (CEOs Kihoon Lee, Hansoon Park), a company in the ICT Culture Convergence Center operated by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency, has revealed that they have launched an advertising service that uses content with web based AR technology.

Doit5 is a startup that specializes in HTML5 based game-type ad content, and it is characterized by its use of the self-developed BXG engine and over 180 types of planned templates to quickly produce games, and by its high efficiency of their ads.

The recently launched service utilizes HTML5 based game references and web AR content produced by Doit5, so the user is able to enjoy the content without having obstacles in the way of device or OS incompatibility, and can actively interact by linking up their messengers and SNS.

From the advertiser’s perspective, it enables ads that are both dynamic and capable of mobile response, and is also more effective compared to existing ad campaigns. This is because the interactive interface raises brand favorability, and raises participation through achievements and sharing. The message the advertiser wants to get to the users goes beyond being a simple game, and the storytelling relays the message more effectively.

CEO Kihoon Lee stated, "Doit5’s game-type ad content has moved away from the existing standardized mobile ads, with various planned templates and designs customized for advertisers," and revealed their future plans saying, "In the future, we want to produce gamification content that is linked with interactive content and equipment, and expand our business."
